Cardinals "Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread - Page 86

This is so unreal. We were dead. No hope. A season over. Somehow, someway we find some team chemistry and squeak into the playoffs on the last day of the season.

Only to find us facing one of the best pitching staffs assembled in years with home field advantage. We somehow, someway find a way to beat the best pitcher in baseball on the road in an elimination game.

We have to go on the road and beat the team with the best home record in baseball. A team who mortgaged their future to make this run .We somehow, someway find a way to beat them on the road and make our 18th World series trip.

We take game 1, we give away game 2 and home field advantage. Albert goes off for probably the best performance in World Series history and we take game 3 easily. Games 4 & 5 our bats fall asleep, Phone gate happens and its not looking too good.

Game 6, one of the best baseball games of all time and it takes place in a season ending go home game. Cardinals are down 2 runs in their final chance on the season, twice. They are down to their final strike of the season, twice. They give up a 2 run homer in extra innings. In the bottom of the inning their final 3 batters are a combined 3-26 in the Playoffs and a pitcher because the bench is empty. Somehow, someway they get some runners on and the comeback player of the year drives in the tying run. Mr. Freese hits the walk off home run. We will see you tommorrow night.

Game 7, With our bulldog on the mound pitching on 3 days rest he is able to give us 6 good innings and get us to within 9 outs of our 11 World series title. Texas meltsdown, probably left over from last nights game and its over.

The underdog, come back team who had no business even being in the playoffs wins a World championship. They make movies about events like this in life. Events that you remember even if your not a fan of the sport or team for the rest of your life.

When it is your team.......Priceless

So? It's one thing if an announcer says it, it's another if a fan says it.

LOL.

I was at the game yesterday, and the asshole in front of me turns around and says, "Westbrook look sharp. Perfect through 4 2/3."

Then Florida gets 4 consecutive singles for a 2-1 lead.

Sarcasm escapes you?

Take a pill dude. Seriously.

I think the real problem is having Bryan Augenstein mentioned in the OP.

And his last name being misspelled.

Marcellus · 05-06-2011, 08:19 PM

Man if we still had Waino this staff would be tits. Crazy that Carp is the weak link right now.

I don't know that I'd say he's the weak link.

He's had a few starts where he's gotten little run support.

It's that the player that most thought would be a strength(Pujols) has turned out to be a weakness(For now, anyways, I think he'll turn it around) and as much as we whined about Berkman's D, he has been okay in RF and has, I think anyways, exceeded our expectations.

Jaime FTW.

I agree with that.

I don't think he's been as bad as Westbrook(He has turned it around lately, though), but he certainly hasn't been as well as Jaime, Lohse or K-Mac.

That's pretty incredible that a guy who sucked the past two seasons and a guy who was a RP in the bigs have been two of the Cards best SPs...

I would say in the end he has more wins than Westbrook or McClellan.

He is struggling at times though. His screaming at opposing players over little shit is getting odd.

When has he done that this year?

And didn't he pitch a good game in Atlanta, no?

The bullpen blew a few leads.

He went kookoo on Hanley Ramirez his last start.

I know he is intense but he is starting to let his emotions get in the way.

JMO

Edit: He is still one of my all-time favorite Cards.
